Could you be in a sexless relationship forever??

In March I began going out wtih this guy I had met two years earlier. Before we even started dating in February 2008, I told him that I had herpes and hpv (the strand that causes cervical cancer). He was ok with it or so I thought because he slept with me a few weeks after he asked me to be his gf. A few weeks after that I found out i gave a previous partner genital herpes (which i told ot my bf) and my bf told me that he had little bumps on his penis which he thought was warts. He said that I gave him warts which I never knew I had a strand that could turn itno warts or could pass warts onto a guy and I went for a second opinion about my HPV and nothing was ever said to me. Since then my boyfriend and I have not had sex. This past weekend he told me he does not want to have sex with me possibly forever. I know he loves me because he has told me and he has also said he wnats to be with me. I really like this guy and think that he is "the one" but the thought of being in a SEXLESS relationship FOREVER hurts me and I don't know what to do. I asked him if he would marry someone and never had sex with him and he said yes. I don't know what to do and I need help or advice. I mean if we ever move to the next step of marriage i think its nearly impossible to not have sex ever. If we did get married it should nto matter because its supposed to be for life....so if anyone has advice it is greatly needed.

I'm so sorry this happened. The thing is you were up-front with him from the beginning, so I don't get what his problem is now. It's not like you sprung this on him.

You can't make him have sex with you. I don't think you can be married and not have sex either - that's not normal or good. I think what he's saying is he is breaking up with you but can't be mature enough to be honest with you. I feel for you, but it's better to know now than to continue on thinking things that aren't true.

You can't help you have these things and if he doesn't understand, he's not worth it. I wish you luck.

I would just bring it out into the open and try to have a very honest talk with him about his intentions. That way you know for sure and can move on. Take care!

I think a relationship without intimacy would be tough. I dont blame him for not wanting to contract it if he doesnt have it already. But just keep in mind that there are less conventional forms of sex that may provide the connection that you need that doesnt include intercourse. Probably the best bet would just to talk it over with him and find out if you are both willing to compromise conventionalism or if it is time to move on.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
